Růžičková about the caught penalty: A coincidence! She took off her hat after the criminal Šurnovská
The 23-year-old goalkeeper of Slovácko in the second half of Friday night’s overture to the first women’s league was not enough for two great shots from Šurnovská and Khýrová. Due to them, the team from Uherské Hradiště automatically lost 1: 2 in the 9th round hit and lost this year’s invincibility.
“We were well prepared for a tough match. We had a lot of faith in Slavia, which is of course a very good opponent. Unfortunately, it did not turn out well for us. But the result 2: 1 is good, “says the support of Slovácko.
Which she didn’t often rest on in previous fights with the people of Prague, on the contrary, she didn’t have much work to do. Apart from the centers and several paddocks, she didn’t need anything complicated. The favorite worked out a few chances out of the game.
“I just caught it,” Růžičková smiled. “It simply came to our notice then. But now we have a quality team. It’s really great for the defense. In addition, we improve with each match. Girls do what they have to do. I thank them for not letting me down too much, “she added more seriously.
In the first half, she pulled out mainly during the penalty of the visiting Šurnovská. The home goalkeeper caught the direction of her shot and set a not very placed shot brilliantly.
“I didn’t know my opponent’s player, she never kicked at me. I always guess one side I go to, so it was more of a coincidence, “he says modestly.
After the break, the Slavists were more accurate. First, to the leading goal of Morávka’s answer with a demonstration blow to the gallows Šurnovská, which made up her hesitation from the opening part and sent the balloon from the penalty kick under the lid.
“I could only take off my hat. It was beautifully hit, “Růžičková praised the shooter.
She didn’t even have time to move with a millimeter-accurate shot. “It was very close, and there were two of their players, so I had to wait to see which one was going to kick. But even if I saw the balloon and managed to react, I still don’t have it, “he knows well.
With the second goal, Slavia reached as far as she could, and still did not reach Khýrová’s long-range shot.
“Goals usually fall after mistakes and Slavs are great in the end. They have very good movement, so it’s hard to catch. I don’t even know who managed to get out of us, but the shot was still dotted, so we didn’t have time to react, “sad Růžičková, who discussed the decisive moment right on the playing field with coach Bláha.
Despite a narrow loss, they could have patted each other on the back, because the football players from Slovácko and the leading team played a successful part and were not far from a valuable point.
“The first half was very decent of us. We defended well, kept in the block and relied on counterattacks. We even scored an amazing goal in the second half. Unfortunately, the Champions League was repeated and we collected again after the goal was scored, so bad luck, “she complained.
The Prague team was already watching the end, they did not allow hard-working rivals to equalize. “The Slavists were the least better, they were more mobile. They have known each other for a long time, they have a good concept of the game. It was a really tough opponent for us, “says a native of Velké Bílovice in the Břeclav region.
Former player Hodonín enjoyed Friday’s overtime, despite the unfavorable result. The duel is played in the evening, under artificial lighting. Almost five hundred spectators cheered in the stands. “The feelings are great. It was a wonderful experience. I thank the fans for making such a backdrop in the beautiful stadium, “she said.
Duels in the dark have a smirk, they are different than in daylight. However, the Goalkeepers have a harder time. “It’s a bit of a complication because the balloon can’t be seen so much. But it’s the same for everyone, “he knows well.
The girls from Uherské Hradiště are now snorting a little again, because the women’s league has a national team break.
However, Růžičková has the honor that she was nominated by coach Karel Rada to the national team and will fly to the Czech national team in Iceland, which on Friday, October 22 at the stadium in Reykjavík will be qualified to advance to the 2023 World Cup.
“I look forward to much. I’ve been there once with the girls. It’s beautiful there. In addition, I enjoy every national team meeting, “adds Růžičková.
